A Way of Living Like a Child | Meditation and Happiness

A Life that is Worth Living-

When I look at a child, I feel very happy. I feel that life is very good. Life is worth living. For a child this is different and for a so-called mature one, it is completely different. But what this maturity is when this mature person is not happy. Will you call that person a mature one? Happy in a sense where you are not doing any harm to others as well as to yourself. Listen full podcast here-



Living in the Present-

When you see a child playing, just look at the child and see with your whole being, you can understand so many things from a child but when I observe others, I also notice that we are so busy doing our things, complaining about so many things, talking about our problems only and what is going on bad in the world, that we don’t see the beauty in many things.


A child is just one character from which I learn many things. A child is present in what he/she does. He/she does and then he/she doesn’t even bother to look at that event after some time. I am not talking about the scientific aspect of it, for why he/she is like that. I am just talking and taking what could be beneficial for me and others. That activity of a child is a great activity that he/she doesn't even bother to look back but when I see many other people they still try to hold the past. They forget that he/she has a life that is going on in this time and they can take advantage of it as well.


What is Meditation-

When a child plays, he plays only and that’s what meditation is. When a child walks, he walks. He doesn’t bother about even falling. We are mature enough in a sense where we see the pros and cons of everything and that is also a good thing but the maximum time, we only focus on the result rather than doing the work that we are doing. We become mechanical in so many ways and we sometimes call it discipline though it’s not. You just name some ‘work’ discipline and when you do it you call yourself a very disciplined person. Everything is not like that. 


How to Look: A Form of Meditation-

When a small child sees you. He/she sees you without identity. Without your name, without your color, without your past background, without your achievements, without your knowledge, without your character, etc. He/She just sees you the way you are. And that is why most people love children. Such a great trait it is. 

These all are identities. And if then that child wants to love you, he/she will love you and if not, then he/she will not love you.

‘Not loving you’ in a way where a child is like that, not because of you, not because of your identities. 

It is really like you are a good person but I'm not attracted to you (child inner voice).


When a child looks at something, he becomes very curious and explores that thing by touching and seeing very attentively. I think for the child that thing is very real or that thing is very fascinating and for the child, because of their upbringing, he/she knows that he/she doesn’t know that much that’s why they search. They give an attempt to search. Search for something completely new.


We somewhere forgot that we don’t know much. Yes, we have an idea of so many things because we’ve given them a name. but giving something a name doesn't define something. 


A Question to Ask-

And just observe, How well a child sleeps. So calm, not bothering about anything. If he wants to sleep, he sleeps. Wanna play plays. We’ve many things to do, many things to achieve but for what? 

A question that we must ask to ourselves.


What is Relationship-

When a child meets any pet, he/she just loves without prejudices, without analysis. And I think that's what the relationship is. You are meeting somebody with this kind of attitude, without any past burden. It’s like you’ve forgotten if he/she did something bad to you and you are now meeting with this person without even involving this memory and then you meet purely and lovingly.


A Smile of Healing-

Let’s not miss the smile of a child. For me, it’s way purer than anything in this world. That’s why I think they say children are a form of God because somewhere many of us define ‘God’ like this, a very pure, loving person. 

I always love the pure smile of anybody and I think we all do except the suspicious one. If you are a person that is always doubting, always analyzing, always suspecting then surely, you’ll not see good in others. And then you’ll be wondered why bad things are happening to you. We have all kinds of people. Sometimes it’s good to analyze, it’s good to doubt but not all the time. Your smile or even your words can’t be corrupted by these things. It surely will damage your smile including how you are feeling.


Questioning as a Key-

Have you ever wondered why something is very much fascinating to a child but for you, it’s not? 

I don’t think you wonder at all seeing this kind of thing even in your daily life, because you are so occupied by the damn things that you've forgotten how to live. You are just passing your life and one day you’ll die. The fact is the fact. I am not here to entertain you. I’m sorry. I don’t want anything from you, I've it all.

I’m not going to answer the question though, it’s a question that you need to ask yourself and find out, not for me but for yourself. Because it’s the questioning that could possibly provide you the freedom that you want.

The Book that Changed Me Four Years Ago

People learn from people. Years ago, I found a person named Gary Vaynerchuk . He changed the course of my life professionally and what I was doing. I read his book that changed me four years ago and that book is Crush It ! In his book, he has talked about various things like passion, building a personal brand, content creation, authenticity, marketing and so on. I’d suggest that one must read this book if one is starting just out. This book is very simple in language and can potentially change you as well. Whatever I do, I’d say that the sharing of the content part is inspired by this person. There’s a judgment part of it involved in thinking about what to share and what not to share. What is it to keep for oneself and what is it to share with the world?   but after reading and listening to Gary Vee, things changed. We must share things because we don’t know what it is that could inspire others. We really don’t know. Sometimes a story and a post or a podcast, various things cou...

From Where the Strength Comes

In this chaotic life, we all need strength. For some it comes from people, money, happiness and for some, it comes from freedom and so on. What if it all goes away someday? To be honest with you, that may happen. The probability is still there, let’s be factual. For some, it is my philosophy but I’m just being factual. Let’s cut the bullshit for the time being. The question now is, is strength relative to all these things? Is strength relative at all? Because if it is relative then we are lost or we will be. And to explore all that we must first understand what it means by strength. And here I’m more concerned with mental strength rather than physical strength. Physical strength must be there to survive, to act, and to function properly. What is strength, my friend? This is not just a question for me but also you. Whatever I’m going to convey must be realized on a deeper level otherwise there’s no point reading this. On a mental level, is it not the ability to think understand ...

Nobody Can Help You!

That would be the most pessimistic sentence you’ll ever come across. But be with me. At least I won’t give you false hope. Because the truth is: Nobody can help you. You are living your life and most of us have lived their life but they haven’t figured out, and I can assume you are still figuring out most of the things in your life. Maybe you are seeking help but you are not finding that ultimate solution that can put you in a great spot.  Well, if you are seeking someone to repair your bike, you’ll find that out so easily, I’m not talking about these kinds of things. What I’m going to talk about is more of the psychological world that we live in fragmentary. And that psychological world is not different from the world you live in. That is connected with your thinking and your actions.  What I’m talking about here is something quite deep. It’s related to values, education and the relation of you to this world. Of you to other people that you don’t even care about. And if you d...

Direction over Destination

“Your first priority is to identify what you want and then make sure you take the path that’s going to give you that. There’s nothing sadder than to see someone get to be seventy-five or eighty years old and look back regrettably because they pursued the wrong target.” One of the paragraph in the book  Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got  by Abraham Lincoln Having a goal, having a purpose, having a destination, it’s all fine but what if you don’t know where to go, you are not that self-aware, you are very early in the process, you could be a college graduate or you’ve passed out but you don’t know where to go. It’s a problem for the majority of people because most of the people are not self-aware, they don’t know what they want from life. It’s very obvious why most of the people are not happy in their life. So, if you don’t know the destination or a goal, how will you then start? To answer you, You just start by finding something you like or you are passionate abo...

Behind the Scene of Writing

Working on a new project, I thought why not show the scene behind the writing? When we write things we get some ideas. Even we can make connections among things and then It becomes very easy to write things about anything.  I like to write it like it, one can make things in the doodle Notebook  in art form as well.   Post by @ajaysinghtalk View on Threads

Embracing Tranquility

In the pursuit of a peaceful and purposeful life, it's essential to align your actions with joy. Engage in activities that bring happiness, for it is the connection between what you do and the resulting peace that truly matters. In today's world, opportunities abound to find joy in various endeavours, and if you're talented, consider turning your passions into a source of income—after all, money-making is a skill worth honing.   Stress management is a vital aspect of maintaining a sense of peace. Choose activities that resonate with you, avoiding those that lead to dissatisfaction. Living a simple life and being unafraid of mistakes are powerful ways to stay grounded. Embrace the present moment; stress often arises from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. While future planning is valuable, ensure it remains realistic, understanding the time required to achieve your goals.   Prioritize activities that bring you genuine joy. Adhering to the 80/20 rule ,...

A Letter!

I’m what I’m right now, right here. The state of the mind is the state of me. Whatever in this, that is me. To be at peace is not a desire but it’s our nature. It’s our life. To live without any conflict in the life. To think about it, is worth it than the things that anybody could desire. There can’t be a great, priceless, worth it desire than to understand life and live it every second. What I want is this. What I hope for others is this. To live joyously is life. To live peacefully is life. Nobody could be happy if that person is full of hate or even a spark of that. Full of jealousy or a spark of that. If people can’t like others how can there would be a relationship of any kind. I don’t see that is possible. Become a light to oneself and that light will awaken others. This, I see very clearly & only option here.

Creator versus Artist

A creator is someone who makes or produces something new and an Artist is the one who creates or produces art. In today’s era, everybody is concerned about how many followers one has acquired on social media platforms. This is most important for us to know the difference between Artist and Creator, I have already defined what a creator is and what an artist is.   There were artists back then who were not creators. But in today’s era, artists become very good creators. But so many of us have forgotten the difference between the two.   For Creators, the quantity of content defines them. For Artists, the quality of art defines them.   Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Spotify Ajay Singh Talk | Podcast | Apple Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Twitter

Boredom is Necessary | Self-Awareness

We often feel bored and I think it’s a good thing. If you are feeling bored then at least you know that you’ve got nothing at this time from which you are passionate about. It’s a time to be self-aware. It’s a time to know yourself better. It’s a time to find out the thing that you were enjoying earlier or to find new things that you could enjoy. I’ve list of things that I plan to do. I’ve list of things that I need to learn this or that. I’ve list of books that I know I need to buy and read. So I’ve never been out of work. And I enjoy doing my things. I am very passionate about my work. Like right now, I’m writing this blog post and I’m excited about it because I love writing. I love suggesting new things to others. I love sharing new things with others. What I do I share. How I do that I share that too.  We lack a spark for action. We don’t want to act. This is because you didn’t find out what is that thing that ignites you. It’s very simple but you need to get up and TRY as many...

My 10 Days Vipassana Meditation Experience

Early Thoughts Before registering for the Vipassana, I was going through many ups and downs in my life. I wanted a break. I wanted a time where I could live a different life. A life that is different from the so-called normal life. Heard about Vipassana many years ago but that didn't catch my attention. But I was planning to go there. I think everything has its time and for me, when my time came, I was there doing Sadhana ( Meditation ). My parents got no clue where I was planning to go but when the time came, I told them that I’m going to Lucknow for meditation for ten days and I can’t talk to you on phone. They didn’t understand what I was doing with my life. And I told these things when the time was very near. It’s like if I am going after two or three days then I am telling all this to them. I told them that it’s important for me and they understood that.  They trust me!!! That’s awesome. Reaching There When I reached there, they allotted me a room. I met two friends, at that ...
